Fanfan

Alexandre travels to the beach cottage of his friends Ti and Maude to clear his mind and escape Laure's routine romance. There, he meets Maude's granddaughter, Fanfan, and a subtle, growing attraction begins. They even sleep in the same bed, but Alexandre deliberately avoids any physical contact.

Over several days, they grow closer and share a sense of candid curiosity. Fanfan takes Alexandre to an abandoned house where they have intimate conversations and reveal their desires. The playful tension between them deepens as they imagine what might happen next.

Laure makes a bold, failed attempt to reignite the romance by dressing as an Italian call girl, but the ploy falls flat. Alexandre's father’s gloomy talk about funeral business and a bleak future of marriage weighs on him. The combination leaves him more uncertain about what he wants.

To preserve excitement, Alexandre shares a plan with Ti: pursue platonic love and never act on his growing feelings. He vows to court Fanfan forever without revealing his emotions or becoming intimate. He decides to stay physically with Laure while keeping his emotional bond with Fanfan.

Alexandre and Fanfan share a romantic evening that feels real but dangerous. Just as their night is about to become something more, the owner of the apartment returns and they narrowly escape being discovered. The episode underscores the fragility of their arrangement.

Alexandre stages a magical experience for Fanfan at a television studio, dancing with her in an 1813 Vienna set. He toasts to their 'friendship,' hoping to postpone deeper feelings. Fanfan is disappointed by the hollowness of the gesture and leaves to find Paul.

Back home, Laure suspects Alexandre of seeing someone else and presses him for truth. He admits that something is going on but avoids committing to anything definitive. Laure outlines wedding plans while Alexandre imagines their life turning into his parents'.

Fanfan confronts Alexandre with a clear ultimatum: choose between her and Laure. He insists he wants only friendship, but Fanfan sees the attraction he can't hide. The tension between them reaches a breaking point.

One evening, Alexandre secretly adds sleeping powder to Fanfan's drink and, while she sleeps, sensually applies sunscreen on her back. He is about to kiss her when Laure arrives, announcing she is pregnant and that the wedding is back on. Fanfan leaves in disgust, realizing the depths of the complication.

Later, Alexandre discovers Laure's pregnancy was a lie and the couple breaks up. He spots Fanfan boarding a bus to Italy but does not chase after her. Ti warns that Fanfan won't wait forever.

Determined to keep tabs on Fanfan, Alexandre rents the apartment next to hers and installs a two-way mirror to secretly watch her. The voyeuristic setup marks a turning point in their dysfunctional relationship. He hopes this will help him control the outcome of their story.

Fanfan returns from Italy with Paul on a weekend trip, provoking Alexandre's jealousy. He admits Laure's pregnancy was a lie, which only fuels the tension. Fanfan pretends to marry Paul to provoke him, and the truth about her feelings comes through the mirror that she is still in love with him.

Fanfan gives Alexandre one last chance, telling him to come to her room by 10:00 pm or lose her forever. He does not show up, and she moves out, leaving a note she’s going to see her sister. The emotional stakes rise as the clock ticks toward a final decision.

Maude informs Alexandre that Fanfan’s sister is dead, hinting at possible despair. The two-way mirror cracks, Fanfan breaches the barrier, and they kiss, rekindling their connection. She gives him until morning to win her back, setting a last, fragile test of love.
